BiGoDeViN (DayZ)

Once you look past it all this game is, is a deathmatch. The only reason to acquire gear is to kill each other. Zombies aren't even a threat. I've only died by them when either, A: They broke my leg by hitting my face or B: I was committing suicide to respawn. Players are the real threat. It's sad because if they increased the strength and AI of Zeds in the Mod or Stand alone, I think things would change. In reality Zombies would fuck you up, run non-stop, and never give up chase anytime you ducked behind some grass. They would be an actual threat. Anytime you seen someone you would be a little more apt to help them. Hey, I realize banditing would happen in reality. But it wouldn't happen as much. The ONLY way to play this game is to group up with friends and fight everyone else. It's your group VS the world. I say this could all be fixed with a few adjustments and patches. The real problem is hackers. But yeah, I agree.

Personally, it's not a bad zombie killer. It's based for stealth play anyway so you won't miss a zed if you plan on sneaking up to him. I hardly run into them but when I do I usually pick it up. Carry around 3 bolts at a time. But if they added a cheap sight and a quiver I'd use it way more. I say yay.

No. I hate it when I can't enjoy good gear or the fresh breath of air it is to restart after having said gear because I'm too busy falling from 950m in the air.

Yeah, it's gotten to the point where I don't even want to play. All the bugs are nothing compared to hackers. They ruin the entire game. It's just not even fun at this point.

"d00d dis haz alrdy ben sad" Of course it fucking has. This hacking shit has been going on way too long. I've played plenty of online games in my day. None have ever had this big of a problem. This game could be playable without the hackers. I could overlook all the bullshit if hackers weren't a problem. But they are. And not just here or there. It's on EVERY server. Low-pop or high-pop. You can guarantee your gear will be lost at the hands of a 1000ft fall.

Rule #56 of DayZ: NEVER get attached to your gear!

Yes, they're easy to kill. Lee Enfield is 1 shot. But that's not the problem. This game is so filled with bugs and glitches they become a nuisance. I've lost a few aggro'd Zeds just to have one pull through the wall and come at me. I actually saw one teleport through the shopping isles at the grocery store to hit my teammate. then there's the leg break thing. I've been hit in the face before and it never shattered my shins. (I actually had my teammate run into me and it break my leg)

No, I've been there. The Mountain tried to warn me. I didn't listen. The horde of Military Zombies had my AK ammo decimated. I couldn't even make it in to the tower. The horde kept me away. After they broke my leg and knocked me out I woke up to the zombies being gone. I took it as a sign and left. Only to be randomly killed in a field by nothing. Just dead. You can't escape once there. The Mountain will always have you by then.

Yeah, I'm on but I'm not at the store. Run a little northwest and meet me at Yehrite Avenue left of Nofuknwey Street.

First 3 minutes? More like the entire game. Except you forgot the part where he finally acquires decent gear and heads north just to be teleported to the thunderdome.

I one time went into Cherno. And there I spotted one of the most horrifyingly abomination ever seen in DayZ. It was just so... so awful, man. They were artifacts! They were everywhere! I thought maybe restarting DayZ would help but no! They won't stop!

What was his in game name?

I hate it. Mainly because you're still going to kill yourself if you spawn in the wrong place. If anything it's just more frustrating without a team to pick you up.

I haven't helped another player because I don't like Axe in my skull. But the other day some guy was riding by Kamarovo. I seen him in his ATV. I thought "Oh fuck, I'm going to have to walk this shit again" In an attempt to hide I proned. He pulls up and says "Where 2" I honestly think he tried to run me over and when he missed he was just like "Screw it, I'll help the newspawn." I told him Balota Airfield where me and him looted. We hit the CT and there was an M1014 on the ground. I didn't think anything of it and picked it up. By the time I had it equipped he was already on his ATV and gone. I proceeded to the Meditents outside the airfield and heard the ATV and a sudden stop. Then was blasted by some kid. I know it wasn't the ATV guy because he had a ghillie. But I look back on it and I wonder if his ATV got jacked or something. He typed hastily into chat "TYHERE" and I assume he ment "THERE" So I have no clue what went down. But thanks Gordan Ramsey of US 1993.

I haven't been playing long so I'll throw in my best two luckiest moments, Me and my friend were trying to flank the Cherno Snipe hill and stumbled upon a tent. He stood overwatch while I looted. Turned around and seen a whole bunch of them. They were fairly spaced out so I'm not sure if it was dupers but it had to have been a clan's. Tons of medical supplies, ammo, guns, tents, and vehicle parts. We took what we wanted and could carry and bailed. Second would be me and my friend looting Elektro at 6 AM. It was sort of dark and we decided to meet up at the Fire House. A dead body with nothing on him was at the gate. We proceed in and there it was. 4 dead bodies. It looked like they were either kill eachother or fighting an outside force while trying to defend their position. They were hackers, though. Tons of epi-pens and morphine. M4 HOLO SD, AKs, and plenty of ammo. Fuckin' loaded.

Yes, I would. So far no one has hesitated to put a bullet through my head when I'm unarmed. I can't trust anyone and will not take the risk. When someone is unarmed the rules are always "dun worriez dood, i wont kil u. i jus need sum help in cherno can u gav me ride?" Then you get there and help him get a weapon. The rules change and it's "lmao let me axe u a queshtun!" Then you just lost all that hard earned gear because you were trying to be "humane." As far as I'm concerned it's still a game and until killing a newspawn has consequences I'll always waste a shot on them.

Rule number 56: NEVER get attached to your gear.

Personally, I don't mind sniper rifles. My problem is kids who dupe AS50s and then snipe from Cherno hill. Then if they get killed and don't have time to ALT+F4 it's okay because they have 6 other AS50s. Then that means more AS50s are circulating on the server than should be. That's whats unbalanced in my eyes. Otherwise I see them as a necessity. If sniper rifles weren't in the game it wouldn't be nearly as cool or realistic, IMO.

Me and my friend had recently found a bunch of dead hackers in the Fire house of Elektro. Found a satchel charge. Considering pulling a beach baby and begging someone to meet me at the Fire house, you know, broken leg and need help. As soon as they enter, BOOM!

I've yet to kill another player (I did once, we unloaded on eachother and both died but until I survive afterwards I won't count it) so I can't say much. But at least play on a veteran or regular server. Recruit is the worst. I mean zombie indicators? Does that shit even exist in game? That looked hacked, honestly.

I just wish he would patch some shit. I could do without new goodies and toys if he could do something about the hackers and glitches. I can't get near the airfield without the game looking like a fucking kaleidoscope. And the fact that any gear I find could easily be lost by glitches, bugs, or hackers within the next few seconds is pretty sad. I don't know whether to put any gear into a tent knowing it could be destroyed server restart. Rocket is doing a good job considering how shitty the Arma 2 engine is but I wish he could do something about this shit.

A thread for epic loot stories. Whether you killed someone, found a dead body, or a group of tents in the woods. What was the best loot you found out of random? (Loot piles count also)

If your Grandparents are Scottish or Irish and you are related to them by blood than intern you are Scottish/Irish. Just throwing that out there.

Lol. Get to the dock and there's 7 other people waiting to shoot me? No thanks.

It's a damn conspiracy! Ever notice the color of Mountain Dew? GREEN! Ever notice what color the "place" is? GREEN! There's a reason Mountain Dew is so rare. Because there's only one in the game. It's a manifestation of the "place" itself. It places itself right in the player's face. You know it's rare so you grab it. Then, you get killed. There's a correlation here. Don't believe me? MOUNTAIN Dew!
